If that is the 'professionalism' you refer to, sir, I don't care much for it and have no wish to acquire it. Kazuo Ishiguro
When I arrived the News was three years old and Ed Lotterman was on the verge of a breakdown. To hear him talk you would think he'd been sitting at the very cross-corners of the earth, seeing himself as a combination of God, Pulitzer and the Salvation Army.
